The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust on September 2 appointed Air Marshal (retired) Jeetendra Mishra, who led the IAF’s Western Air Command during Operation Sindoor, as its first full-time CEO. Mishra, 60, was selected from 5,585 applicants through a two-month process. The move comes as the trust seeks more professional administration amid allegations of donation pilferage and financial irregularities. Mishra retired on April 30, 2026, and will oversee temple operations, devotees, security and financial systems. The trust also appointed three new trustees. Its 2025-26 accounts showed Rs 237 crore income and Rs 1,882 crore available funds. (PC: India Today)
